Transcendent | ||||||||
Stephen Baxter | ||||||||
Del Rey, 488 pages | ||||||||
A review by Greg L. Johnson
The Transcendence is a group mind that is close to achieving maturity when Alia is contacted. It sees itself as the fulfillment
of human evolution, and while the Transcendence is in many ways beyond human comprehension, it has a problem that may be a
fatal flaw. The Transcendence is filled with remorse for the pain and suffering endured by human beings throughout their long history.
Heavy stuff, and, indeed, the overall tone of Transcendent is very serious, there is not a lot of levity to break up
the discussion of serious issues. And Baxter has more than one issue in mind. The story of Transcendent goes back and
forth between Alia's time and our own near-future, where Michael Poole is looking for a way to prevent an environmental
disaster that dwarfs the relatively minor doomsday scenario involving arctic melt-water and the Gulf Stream outlined in Kim
Stanley Robinson's recent novel Fifty Degrees Below. The two story lines are connected by Alia, who has been Witnessing
Michael Poole's life since she was a young girl. Witnessing is a product of the Transcendence's remorse, all living humans
are required to Witness the life of a human from the past. The Transcendence believes that sharing and understanding the
pain of another's existence will be a step in the process of achieving redemption for itself.
That's one aspect of the story that gives Transcendent its sense of gravitas. There is also an underlying tone, a kind
of wistful nostalgia brought on by the feeling that we are already past the tipping point, that some kind of dramatic planetary
climate change is now inevitable, and that any kind of technological solution can only be too little, too late. Stephen
Baxter is not alone in this, the assumption of environmental disaster is fairly common-place in recent SF and can be found
in the works of writers as different as Nancy Kress, Paul McAuley, and the previously mentioned Kim Stanley Robinson,
While he shares this view of humanity's near-future challenges with several SF writers, Baxter has a different view of
the post-human future than contemporaries such as Greg Egan and Charles Stross, one that is darker and more pessimistic
in its conclusions. The post-human cultures Alia encounters in her travels are generally presented as dead-ends much like
the hive cultures first presented in Coalescence, human societies which have given up some of what it means to be
human in order to more efficiently adapt to their environment. It's a post-human vision that is closer in spirit to
H.G. Wells's morlocks than to either the uploaded personalities of Egan's future or the more playful visions of Charles Stross.
Transcendent, and the entire series it finishes, presents us with all the strength and weaknesses of Stephen Baxter as
a writer. There is the long-term view, which recalls Arthur C. Clarke in his ability to invoke an era far removed from
our own. Also, like Clarke, there is the mix of philosophical reflection with a myriad of ideas culled from the latest
biology, physics, and astronomy.
But there is also an at times woodenness of language, and a tendency to use some characters as living info-dumps, their one
purpose in the story being to occasionally enter and provide necessary exposition.
These problems of style and character are over-shadowed, though, by the immensity and depth of the ideas Baxter
presents. It's that presentation of gosh wow ideas that makes Baxter an SF writer in the classic mold, and those who
know his work and expect nothing less will find little to disappoint them in Transcendent.

Obama Seeks New Taxes on Rich
Budget Would Raise Levies on Some Dividends; GOP Dismisses 'Campaign Document'
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama called on Congress Monday to enact new taxes on the wealthy, restructure the tax code and approve short-term spending measures as part of an election-year budget plan aimed at boosting job growth and helping the middle class.
Mr. Obama's $3.8 trillion budget for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1 was quickly dismissed by congressional Republicans and GOP presidential candidates as a political document that fails to seriously tackle the nation's growing debt.
The proposal "isn't really a budget at all; it's a campaign document," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) said. "Once again, the president is shirking his responsibility to lead and using this budget to divide."
The budget underscores the White House's bet that it can convince voters in November that increased spending in the short term is needed to jolt the economy before steps are taken to shrink the federal deficit in the long term. "At a time when our economy is growing and creating jobs at a faster clip, we've got to do everything in our power to keep this recovery on track," Mr. Obama said at a community college in northern Virginia.
The budget projects the deficit will exceed $1 trillion in 2012 for the fourth straight year, meaning Mr. Obama won't meet his promise to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term.
Mr. Obama proposed generating $1.7 trillion in new revenue over 10 years largely by ending Bush-era tax cuts for families who earn more than $250,000, restoring the estate tax to its 2009 level and limiting subsidies for oil and gas companies.
He also for the first time proposed raising the tax rate on dividends, from 15% to as much as 39.6%, for households making more than $250,000 a year. The White House said the measure would generate $206 billion in revenue over 10 years.
Mr. Obama's budget also offered "principles" for future tax reform that included replacing the alternative-minimum tax, a rule adopted to ensure that high-income Americans didn't escape paying taxes. Because it wasn't indexed for inflation, it began ensnaring increasing numbers of middle-class taxpayers, leading Congress to enact a series of temporary fixes.
Mr. Obama, suggested eventually replacing the AMT with a long-term plan named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett. The so-called Buffett Rule would require those who earn more than $1 million to pay a tax rate of at least 30% and prevent them from claiming deductions to push their tax rates down.
Mr. Obama offered no details on his preferred path for corporate tax law changes. He is expected to put forward a proposal later this month that would lower tax rates but eliminate or curb many tax deductions, particularly for firms with investments overseas, administration officials said.
The new dividend measure, as well as the overall focus on raising taxes on the wealthy, appeared to take aim at Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, whose tax returns show he paid a roughly 14% effective tax rate in 2010. The White House said the plan wasn't targeted at any individual.
Mr. Romney issued a statement Monday criticizing the president's budget for not taking "any meaningful steps toward solving our entitlement crisis."
Congressional Republicans also criticized Mr. Obama for offering no new proposals to reform Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security, which are expanding rapidly as Americans age and health costs climb.
While Mr. Obama's 2013 budget has little chance of becoming law, the priorities it sets out amount to the latest installment of a re-election campaign platform he laid the groundwork for in a December speech in Kansas that called for restoring economic "fairness." Mr. Obama expanded on those themes in his State of the Union address last month and doubled down Monday with policy details in a budget proposal that included pointed attacks on Republicans.
In a shift from his past budgets, and from the one put forward by George W. Bush the year he was up for re-election, Mr. Obama repeatedly criticized Republicans. He blamed Congress's failure to pass the jobs measures he proposed last September and his deficit-reduction plan on the "unwillingness by Republicans in Congress to ask the wealthiest among us to pay their fair share through any revenue increases."
Although Republicans attacked Mr. Obama's budget, there were signs Monday that the White House is gaining some ground on the president's agenda. House Republican leaders signaled they were prepared to allow an extension of the payroll tax cut—a top White House priority—without demanding spending cuts in return. The move marks a second retreat by Republicans on the payroll-tax issue in recent months.
Mr. Obama's budget fills in the details of how he prefers to meet 2013 caps in "discretionary" spending—the spending that is approved annually by Congress—that were set in an agreement the White House and congressional Republicans reached last summer.
At the same time, he proposed a number of new programs that the White House describes as "mandatory" spending, which wouldn't be subject to the caps. These included $2.7 billion for a new community college program, $1.8 billion to make homes more energy efficient and $6 billion to modernize schools.
White House officials said the president's budget would reduce the deficit by $3 trillion over 10 years through a combination of the new taxes, modest changes to health-care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and other spending cuts.
That would be in addition to a $1 trillion deficit-reduction agreement they reached with Republicans last year, which capped future spending on a range of annually appropriated programs.
Mr. Obama's proposed spending cuts touch agencies across the federal government. They include reducing mail delivery by the U.S. Post Office to five days a week, giving the Treasury Department the authority to rethink the way pennies and nickels are coined to save costs and new restraints on military veteran benefits.
Still, the proposal projects Mr. Obama will miss his initial deficit-reduction targets. Instead of bringing the deficit under control by 2014, as the White House had planned, the administration now says significant reductions won't take place until 2018.
In addition to cuts, the budget includes $137 billion in spending proposals designed to spur economic growth by funding education and transportation projects. It also proposes continuing through December a tax break for businesses to encourage investment.
The budget would boost spending in some areas that fit with Mr. Obama's political agenda. He proposes increases for the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, two financial regulators that have come under fire after recent Wall Street mishaps. Mr. Obama also proposed $26 million for a new Interagency Trade Enforcement Center, which he created to challenge unfair trade practices around the world but is mainly targeted at China.
"The budget that we're releasing today is a reflection of shared responsibility," Mr. Obama said in his remarks in Virginia on Monday. "And some people go around; they say, 'Well, the president is engaging in class warfare.' That's not class warfare; that's common sense."

As I stared at the menu, looking for another drink to try, my eyes fell on the chai tea latte, and thank goodness they did. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this was the best chai latte I have ever had. Normally, I stick to cappuccinos and Americanos for my morning caffeine, but now I'm a chai tea latte convert. I was unsure if I should add sugar to the drink until I took off the lid; I breathed in the sweet smells of cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, sugar and possibly nutmeg and was convinced that it was perfectly fine as it was. It smelled and tasted like Christmas.
Go ahead and purchase a cinnamon roll to go with your coffee, be it a cappuccino, chai tea latte or any other drink. The sweet pastry isn't obnoxiously large and each one is covered with enough icing to coat the top and slide down the sides. Choose the one you want from the case — get there early to have a nice selection — then heat it up in the microwave for a comforting and scrumptious breakfast.
There's no doubt in my mind I will return to Paper Co. Coffee, even if the only thing I order is the chai tea latte.
Local Spotlight
Exploring Hillcroft
The five best hidden restaurant gems.
Kaitlin Steinberg
Recently, I highlighted some of my favorite relatively unknown restaurants in Chinatown for your eating pleasure. There are so many spots there, it was hard to narrow it down to just five, but before I revisit even more delicious and authentic hole-in-the-wall eateries on Bellaire Boulevard, I thought I'd detour and scope out some hidden favorites in theHillcroft neighborhood, sometimes referred to asSharpstown.
I've also heard the area referred to as the Mahatma Gandhi District or Little India due to the large Indian population there. As such, the neighborhood — whatever you want to call it — abounds in Indian and Pakistani restaurants.
When I approached local ethnic food guru Chris Frankel, formerly the beverage director of RDG + Bar Annie but currently eating his way across the United States, about checking out some lesser-known spots around Hillcroft, he presented me with a single criterion: They can't all be Indian places. In spite of its reputation as an Indian neighborhood, the strip centers up and down Hillcroft are full of other ethnic cuisines that don't get enough media attention for being cheap, unique and, most important, totally tasty.
Here are some of the best.
5. Darband ShishKabob
Open since 1986, Darband claims to be the oldest Persian restaurant in Houston. Regardless of whether it's actually the oldest, it is one of the best. For just $6.95, you can get a hearty plate of ground beef kebabs with bread, grilled tomatoes and herbs. From what I've heard, the prices have hardly changed since the place first opened, and the food has continually gotten better and better. Even more impressive than the kebabs is the lamb shank, marinated in turmeric and garlic, and so tender it falls off the bone with little prodding. Oh, and the whole lamb shank is only $8.95. Try finding that value inside the Loop.
4. Bijan Persian Grill
Like Darband, Bijan serves Iranian food — mostly kebabs — but the dishes here are a little more upscale and the menu a little more extensive. You'll find a number of yuppie-looking Inner Loopers dining at Bijan (yours truly included) in addition to customers who appear to be regulars, back for the "Bijan Special" for the umpteenth time. The Bijan Special is a combination of grilled beef and chicken kebab meat served with cranberry and almond rice, some grilled veggies and herbs. All meals at Bijan come with house-made flatbread that tastes like the best, doughiest pizza crust you've ever encountered. That comes out before the meal, though, so be careful not to fill up on it. It's addictive.
3. Guatemala Restaurant
Tucked into a small strip center (but isn't everything on Hillcroft?) next to another awesome food destination, Jerusalem Halal Meats, Guatemala Restaurant is a treat for people who want food from south of the border but are interested in trying something other than Tex-Mex. You might be surprised to find that Guatemalan food isn't inherently spicy like much Tex-Mex, but it is bursting with flavor. I can't personally speak to the authenticity of the Guatemalan food, but all you need do is ask someone at a table near you. The other people in the restaurant are almost all regulars who stop by for a taste of home. Try the chicken pepian, a traditional chicken dish in a mole-like gravy served with buttery rice and stewed vegetables.
2. Bismillah Restaurant
More people know about (and patronize) Bismillah Cafe than Bismillah Restaurant, and that's probably because the cafe menu includes a number of Pakistani-American fusion dishes like wings and pizza. The restaurant is all about tradition, though, and one of the best dishes is the Beef Nihari, a slow-cooked stew of tender beef in a sauce of spicy brown curry thickened with bone marrow. It's super-rich, and you'll want to order extra paratha bread on the side to cut the heat a little. Tawa qeema — ground beef with onions, tomatoes and spices formed into a sort of cake — is another dish that really packs the heat, but if you're less inclined to crave the spicy stuff, stick to the kebabs or the Americanized items at Bismillah Cafe, a few doors down.

Hemifacial microsomia is a congenital condition in which the tissues on one side of the face are underdeveloped. It primarily affects the ear, mouth and jaw areas, though it may also involve the eye, cheek, neck and other parts of the skull, as well as nerves and soft tissue. In 10 to 15 percent of cases, both sides of the face are affected, often times asymmetrically. Hemifacial microsomia is the second most common facial birth defect behind cleft lip and palate, affecting one in every 3,500 to 4,000 births. The condition is typically nonprogressive, meaning that the areas of the face that are affected at birth will typically remain similarly affected throughout growth and development, neither worsening nor getting better. Hemifacial microsomia has many names, including: craniofacial microsomia, first and second branchial arch anomaly, branchial arch syndrome, facioauriculovertebral syndrome, oculoauriculovertebral spectrum, and lateral facial dysplasia. Hemifacial microsomia is sometimes confused with Goldenhar syndrome, a rare congenital condition. In fact, hemifacial microsomia is just one of the distinctive characteristics of Goldenhar syndrome, which also includes spine anomalies and epibulbar dermoids or lipodermoids. It is unclear what causes hemifacial microsomia. Research has shown the process starts in the first trimester of pregnancy and may be caused by a vascular problem leading to poor blood supply to the fetus' face during early development. The facial anomalies are not triggered by a mother's action or diet. In the majority of cases, the condition is not inherited, and happens by chance. In a small minority of cases, a child may inherit the condition from his parents. An adult with hemifacial microsomia has about a 3 percent chance or less of having a child with the same condition. Symptoms of hemifacial microsomia range from severe to barely noticeable and depend greatly on the degree of deformity and how much of the face is involved. A child with a mild form of hemifacial microsomia may have a slightly smaller jaw and a skin tag in front of a normal-looking ear. In more severe forms, a child's face may appear much smaller on one side of his face, with an abnormally shaped or absent ear. One of the ways clinicians describe and assess the severity of hemifacial microsomia is the OMENS classification. The OMENS classification examines the function and appearance of each of the following, looking for characteristics commonly associated with hemifacial microsomia: Most children with hemifacial microsomia have facial anomalies but no other major medical issues. In some cases, babies born with hemifacial microsomia may also have other health problems such as malformed vertebrae, heart defects or abnormally shaped kidneys. The diagnosis of hemifacial microsomia can be made before or after birth. Some of the abnormal facial features are visible during prenatal ultrasound. If you are pregnant and your unborn child has these distinctive characteristics, you may be referred to CHOP's Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment. The majority of children are not diagnosed with hemifacial microsomia until after birth. In this case, experts from CHOP's Craniofacial Program will evaluate your child. Experienced physicians will make the diagnosis based on your child's appearance: the mandibular (jaw) deformity is the hallmark of hemifacial microsomia, and is classified based on the development of the jaw. In the mildest formation, the mandible is nearly normal and only slightly hypoplastic (underdeveloped), while in the most severe cases, a portion of the jaw is missing on the affected side. Some of the facial characteristics of hemifacial microsomia mimic those seen in children with Treacher Collins syndrome; but hemifacial microsomia differences are typically one-sided or asymmetric, whereas in Treacher Collins, characteristics are similar on both sides of the face. Diagnostic tests such as X-rays and CT scans may also be used to better examine your child's bone and cartilage structure in order to make appropriate treatment recommendations. The treatment of hemifacial microsomia varies tremendously from patient to patient and depends on the severity of the condition and long-term needs of the child. Consultation with an experienced craniofacial team is extremely important in achieving the best outcomes for your child. At CHOP — where we have expertise in every pediatric specialty — your child will have access to a multidisciplinary healthcare team and coordinated care through our Craniofacial Program. We will work with you to prioritize your child's needs and establish a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both physical and psychosocial needs, including planning for staged surgical repair and reconstruction. Timing can be a critical factor in treatment of hemifacial microsomia. In some cases, treatment can wait until your child reaches certain developmental milestones. If your child is born with hemifacial microsomia, he may require respiratory support or a tracheostomy if the jaw is severely deficient. In most cases, your child's airway can be managed conservatively. Due to the presence of the jaw deformity and clefts, your child may experience feeding difficulties. He may receive supplemental feedings through a nasogastric tube to support his growth and weight gain. If facial paralysis or eyelid abnormalities are present, eye closure may be incomplete and eye protection must be provided either via lubricants or surgical procedures. As your child with hemifacial microsomia grows, he may need surgical treatment based on the severity and area affected. Not all children with hemifacial microsomia have problems in all of these areas. Below are some of the interventions your child may need. If you have any questions about treatment for your child, please talk to your child's healthcare team or call the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at 215-590-2208. As is the case for any patient with a complex craniofacial deformity, individual treatment varies depending upon the degree of involvement of the various structures. Your child's individual treatment plan may vary from others similarly affected due to a variety of other factors. It is important that you see an experienced craniofacial team to manage and assess your child's condition. As your child with hemifacial microsomia grows into adolescence, he should continue to be monitored by experienced physicians who can adjust treatment plans as needed. Because multiple body systems may be involved in hemifacial microsomia, continued monitoring for complications and any treatment as needed are important to optimal long-term outcomes. CHOP's Craniofacial Program brings together the many specialists your child may need to see, including: During follow-up visits, diagnostic testing may be done. The goal of continued monitoring is to help spot any irregularities in growth or development and to address health issues as they develop, optimizing long-term outcomes for your child. Follow-up care and ongoing support and services are available at our Main Campus and throughout our CHOP Care Network. Our team is committed to partnering with parents and referring physicians to provide the most current, comprehensive and specialized care possible for your child.

Surgical treatment
For a distraction lengthening of the mandible, a surgeon cuts the mandible (jaw) in the center of its deficient region and implants a small device that allows the two bone segments to be distracted (pulled apart), creating a gap in the bone. New bone begins to form in the gap of the small jaw and the device is slowly widened until the jaw is appropriately-sized. When the jaw bone has been adjusted, it improves facial form and the way the top and bottom teeth fit together. Mandibular distraction may need to be repeated as your child grows.

In Reply to: Not meaningless at all. ... posted by annie on September 16, 2010 at 8:46 pm:
I don't have the time to do extensive research on this subject. However, I still contend that increases in income really only matter if you also know about expenses. For example, From 1992-2000 (Democrat president) From 2001-2008 (Republican president) Yes, that's simplistic, and more data would be needed. But the whole point is, how much your income increases is meaningful only when you have the whole picture. Also: From 1973-2008 In that area, at least, it doesn't sound like we are better off under either Democrats or Republicans.

Lisa Wilcox consulted a variety of sources for the material included here and on the individual season episode synopses pages, and more than once found conflicting information. For instance, note that the episode number, which (we think) shows the order in which episodes were aired, doesn't always coincide with the production numbers, which probably had something to do with the order in which scripts were written and/or filmed. Lisa collated and synchronized the material to the best of her ability, but errors may remain.

Hodgdon does not list 165 in either 38spl or 357. Found this on THR.com 14.5 H110 and a CCI 550
I could make a list of a bunch of guns i have, or "have", or wish I had. Why would one feel compelled to provide that infornation freely? Do you feel the need to show off? Is it some immature game of oneupsmanship? Why do you feel it necessary to list your guns?
You can go with data for slightly heavier bullets. There should be some 170 gr data out there somewhere. You should probably obtain the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook and/or the Lee Precision Modern Reloading 2nd Edition manuals if you want to shoot a lot of cast.
Closest I can come is 158 grains. What powder are u using?
He needs to use 170gr data.
Ok but in the lee book I have there is no load data for 170g lead bullets? Can y'all tell Me what other reloading manual is a good one for me to buy? Cause I'l learning I need more than one?
Use the 168 load data
I have the Lyman 1970 43 rd or 45th edition and the closest to 165gr is 168gr both in 38 and 357 loads.list 7 different powders.

"A Fascinating Read!"
I listened to "My Beloved World" on a long road trip and back. This book totally captivated my attention. I loved hearing about Sonia Sotomayor's childhood in New York and they way she overcame many obstacles in her life. Also diabetic, I found her story of how she learned to give herself insulin shots at age eight inspiring. Her matter-of-fact attitude has helped me overcome much of the guilt associated with the disease. I also appreciated her attitude that she could learn anything once she put her mind to it. I heard Sonia Sotomayor on an interview about the book and was called to find it to read it. Rita Moreno's reading is really clear and invigorating. I loved the book and was sorry when it ended.
Sonia's character as the main character was the best. Rita Moreno spoke with a clear and effortless voice. I felt that Sonia's writing was truthful and without guile.
No, it's a long book, but it will hold your attention in a long drive.
Bouncing between time periods, we follow the story of two orphans who must find their way in a world that wants to mold them to fit into boxes that society views as their roles. Through their two stories we come to see that while society has changed, certain fundamental truths about how people view the most vunerable among us has not. I love stories about young women with spirit and depth and both of the main characters have both. As they deal with what the world dishes out to them, we find that what sustains them changes them.
I liked when Vivian realized that all of the bad things that happened to her (and there were ALOT of them) were actually the things that led her to the good things and that she was grateful for everything.
My favorite scene was when Vivian realized the handsome stranger was actually a young boy she met on the Orphan Train many years earlier.
I listened to this book constantly and found myself sitting in the car to finish a section. It was a compelling book with many emotional scenes.
"Wow! I Want MORE!"
I haven't read the print version, but the audible version is very well done.
The plot is definitely well written. I love the twists and turns and thought processes when you are pretending to be someone that you are not and being found out could be fatal.
Alyssa Bresnahan has a great, gentle voice with a hidden strenghth. I felt this went well with the first person perspective of this book.
This book was very scary, but then I am very interested in cults and the way that they operate.
I can't believe I waited to read to this book, it's a real draw!
"Worth Wading Through"
probably not, but enjoyed the read.
I liked her problem solving skills when confronted with adversity. I also liked the fact that she dives into any situation, generally not prepared, but muddles through, and isn't that what most of us do?
No, in fact, I had a hard time getting through the first part of the book, especially the part about her mother dying and subsequent hard times. I was listening to this book in the car with my husband and we both had a difficult time reliving her problems. Later, when traveling alone, I went back to this book and made it out to the trail. I found that part of the book really fun.

In this tutorial we will only use built in AE plug-ins to achieve the final effect. We will learn how to divide a layer into numerous parts and then how to control the geometric aspects of those parts using the advanced features of Card Dance along with the Ease and Wizz script. We will use Timewarp to achieve slow-motion and we'll also experiment with CC Vector Blur combined with several other effects to achieve a cool looking background.

What is Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita? Arthrogryposis, or arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), as mentioned previously, is a generic term used to describe the presence of multiple congenital contractures. The word arthrogryposis, arthro, joint, gryp, curved, literally means curved joint (implying that it is fixed or stuck in the curved position). Thus, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita means curved (fixed) joints in many (multiple) areas of the body, which are present at birth (congenita). A contracture is the limitation of movement of a specific joint, in other words, a joint that does not have a full range of movement. The contractures in most forms of arthrogryposis are usually nonprogressive and involve more than one body area. The word congenital simply means that the contractures are present at birth; that is, they have occurred or been produced before birth. For the purposes of this book, arthrogryposis is defined as congenital nonprogressive limitation of movement of two or more joints in different body areas. Occasionally, there are conditions in which contractures are progressive.
